Here’s the updated daily weather forecast for Watertown, MA, from Thursday, November 27 to Thursday, December 5 by Meteorologist Matthew Moll of New England Weather Consulting: As we move past Thanksgiving, Watertown is transitioning into a quieter, yet noticeably colder pattern.
After a rainy and windy Thanksgiving Day, conditions will settle on Friday with mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures around 46°F. However, the real shift comes this weekend, as temperatures will struggle to reach the low 40s, with brisk winds making it feel even colder. By Sunday, highs will be in the upper 30s, and temperatures will quickly dip into the 20s overnight, signaling the arrival of winter-like conditions. As we head into next week, the cold will persist, with highs near 38°F and lows dropping into the low 20s, making it feel even colder with the wind chill. It’s a good time to bundle up and prepare for a chillier, quieter stretch of weather in Watertown.
